Rowan smiled through clenched teeth. “What a good daughter you've got, huh!” Ryan retorted arrogantly, “Too bad you don’t have one!”Rowan sneered, “Do you think I want one?” Ryan questioned him again, “Don’t you envy me?”“You’re crazy,” Rowan spat with a look of disgust before he let go of his hand. After letting go, the two men took a step back and distanced themselves from each other while keeping a smile on their faces.The little girl applauded as she was very satisfied with their performance.“This is great!”Ryan could not tolerate his daughter continuing to be involved in this manner, so he went forward to pick the little girl up. “Let’s go. We have to buy a gift for your Mama.”There’s no telling what the little girl would do if they continued to stay any longer. However, he then thought of how the so-called gift that he was going to buy was somewhat inappropriate for children, so he pushed the little girl into Rowan’s arms. He disregarded Rowan’s reaction and o
He performed quite well at work that day, and he had a rare burst of inspiration. The most important thing in the field of design was inspiration, so he designed many styles in one go. He did not expect to be in such good condition that day, and he felt that his designs were amazing when he looked through his own manuscripts after that. However, since he had already fallen out with Silvia, she refused to collaborate with him anymore. Besides, the chairman of her company announced the next day that they would be canceling their collaboration with him, so those manuscripts were abandoned. Rowan could find another company to collaborate with on those design drafts, but he had no time to do this after taking over Pierce Group.Therefore, whenever he was busy with Pierce Group’s affairs, he would feel so irritated and frustrated whenever he thought of those manuscripts that were discarded that he could not calm down and work at all.He had always wanted to get his hands on Pierce Grou
The little girl seemed unable to fully understand her father’s words. “If another man snatched Mama away, would you and Mama not be able to be together anymore?”Ryan hurriedly responded, “Yes, so only I can see Mama’s beauty. That way, no one can compete with me to steal your mother from me.”The little girl thought for a moment and then spoke up. “But I’m not a man, and I won’t snatch Mama away, so I can see it.”Ryan was at a loss for words. He was dumbfounded. What should he do when faced with such a smart daughter? In the end, they arrived home before he said anything, then the father and daughter went upstairs. Silvia was already back. As soon as the little girl saw Silvia, she reported to Silvia excitedly, “Mama, Papa bought you a beautiful dress as a reward!”“Oh, he did?”Silvia raised her hand and caressed her daughter’s cheek. The little girl added, “Papa said that you did two especially great things that made him very happy last night and today, so he wanted to
Ryan had an innocent expression after his initial disappointment. He defended himself by saying, “Such things are to increase the excitement between a couple, right?”Silvia snorted in exasperation.“Do you need such a thing to be aroused now?”“What…”Ryan was furious at her words, and he stepped forward to pick up Silvia, who was only wrapped in a bath towel. He did not even bother to go to the bedroom as he threw her on the sofa outside and growled, “I have to prove that I don’t need such things to be aroused!”Silvia could only beg for forgiveness as she was completely at his mercy.As a result, Silvia finally learnt her lesson. She would never dare to say anything that was remotely contemptuous of a man’s ability in that area again.Greg had a visitor at his ward that night.Nora was accompanying Greg at the hospital at night. She would come on time to accompany her father after getting off work in the evening ever since Greg was hospitalized. She would then wait for her f
“Do you think you’re suitable to run and manage this company?”Greg would have been furious and reprimanded him angrily in the past when he heard that the company was not doing well. However, he did not get angry this time, but he asked him this question calmly instead. Everyone had changed a little after going through this big change.Rowan had realized the importance of health to a man like Greg, who was nearly sixty years old, while Greg had decided to adopt a gentle approach to get along with Rowan instead after considering the issues with their relationship. After Greg asked him this question, Rowan looked at him and asked, “Do you think I’m suitable, then?”Greg looked at him and asked with a frown, “Do you want the truth?”“Yes.”Rowan responded lightly, whereupon Greg expressed his honest opinion. “You have the characteristics of a great artist; you're aloof and stubborn. It could be said that you’re not worldly enough to be a leader. That’s why I set up a design comp
So, after his daughter said this, he hurriedly interrupted her. “It’s okay. There are maids and also the butler at home. They can help me with everything. You don’t have to move back either. I'm not bedridden.”He glanced nervously at Ophelia as he spoke. Ophelia naturally understood what her daughter was trying to do, but she did not say anything. She only handed the thermal lunchbox in her hand to Greg and said, “I made this soup for you. You can take it home and drink it at noon. Ask the chef to cook something for you to nourish your body so you can recuperate well.”Greg took it with a smile and said, “Thank you, Ophelia.”Ophelia did not say anything. After completing the discharge procedure, Ryan and the others left. Greg went back to Old Pierce Manor in Ryan’s car. Nora went back to Old Pierce Manor as well, but she dropped Ophelia home first before heading there. No one dared to take Ophelia to Old Pierce Manor since she did not say that she wanted to go. Nora was finall
Ryan pretended as if he had a bad signal and ended the call. He could not tell Silvia that he had left Autumn under Rowan’s care because he had to go and buy something that was inappropriate for children. Therefore, he could only use such a crappy way to deal with this matter.Silvia was extremely furious. She could still guess some of his thoughts, but she could not do anything about him. He was too cunning. After the call had ended, she sent an email to Rowan after thinking about it. “I thank you on Autumn’s behalf. The designs are very beautiful.”She said a simple thank you without saying more. Rowan did not reply anymore.Rowan did stay up all night to finish all these drawings. He was a little out of control after leaving Greg’s ward last night and still could not calm down after going home. He thought of the designs he had promised to give Autumn during the day, so he took the sketches of the dresses out and colored them. This seemed to be the only way to calm him down.
“Where are you?”“I’m buying vegetables at the market. What’s wrong?” the person on the other end replied to him leisurely. Julian was so shocked that he was about to have a stroke.“Mr. Ex Chairman, you actually went to the market to buy vegetables? Don’t tell me you went there in your Bentley, dressed in Armani!”Julian felt that the image was too brutal to imagine, but Ryan replied indifferently, “Is there anything wrong with that?”Ryan had not met with Julian properly since his stepping down. Julian was busy, and Ryan had devoted himself to preparing dinner, so they had no time to meet up at all. Therefore, Julian was not aware of Ryan’s recent changes. “You’re really calm and leisurely, but there is chaos in Pierce Group.”Julian complained angrily. “Rowan Pierce didn't show up to work today, so the senior executives of Pierce Group came to me when they could not contact him. They demanded that I contact you!”Julian was frustrated when he thought of the group of senior e
